The extent to which Bexley Council will lie is ridiculous. It knows no
bounds. Why would you put blatant lies in writing full stop? Let alone to
someone who runs a website that will only publicize your lies to the voting
masses. What morons.

About Broadway’s roundabout, T junction, free for all, or whatever it is…

Are
aware of the TFL traffic survey currently being done at the magic roundabout in Bexleyheath?

I was speaking to the chap from TfL, very friendly, and he told me he was
counting bikes all day. What a lovely job, but hopefully something good will
come of it. I have heard that Bexley is shortlisted for
funding from TfL for cycles.
When I spoke to him (around 10:30) he said that “only eight bikes have passed towards Welling and only
four towards the Broadway”. He said in other areas such as Elephant and Castle it would be in the 100s.

Interestingly enough he was under the impression that the junction is a roundabout and the crossings
were zebra crossings. If TfL do not know, how is the public meant to?

How can these people be worth so much of our money?! I thought I might get
some enlightenment from the papers for the "Top Management Review Panel" next
week, but of course everything worth looking at is kept secret. What is the
point of this charade if all the important information is withheld? Why not just
do the whole thing in private, instead of pretending that some sort of public
scrutiny has taken place?

I
was left puzzling over one of the few statements the public are allowed to
see, which told me that “ESM had been progressed” during the year.

What is "ESM"?! The European Stability Mechanism? The Electron Scanning
Microscope? The European Society of Mycobacteriology?

Nothing in these papers tells me, and a search of the council website also
reveals nothing. What an insult! They keep most of the papers secret, and one of
the few things allowed to appear in public is rendered worthless by the use of
meaningless acronyms!

Roll on 2014. Let's see if anyone standing for election is prepared to boot
these charlatans off their gravy train once and for all!
